The universe is a very strange place.
It can spend years teaching you a lesson, sometimes in very painful ways. Then in the end when you think you've digested that lesson and internalized some wisdom and can walk away from that experience a more enlightened person, that's when the universe throws you a curve, changes the perspective, tests you again on the same subject in a different way - just to let you know that you really haven't learned anything yet.
The road to real self-awareness and understanding seems to be getting longer the older I get, not shorter.
Guess that's what life is all about, a continual quest to really understand yourself and what it means to try to be a good person in a flawed world.
